180/90 bp and chest pains?

My mother in law was having chest pains today and went to the nurse (she works at a school) and her blood pressure was at 180/90. Do you think she bothered to go to see a doctor? No. Make an appointment to see one? No. I want to strangle her myself, both her mother and her father have had heart problems including surgeries AND her brother died of sudden heart failure LAST YEAR. I just want to cry, I'm worried about losing her.
vent over.

My blood pressure was high like 180/100 when I got pissed off but generally 160/100. The docs put me on meds and I quit eating wheat and shortly after that it went down to normal and still is. If I accidentally get wheat or corn it goes up again. Maybe it's something like that. She needs to get a bp cuff and take it at the same time everyday. Then she will know for sure if its high or she was just stressed. Also having consistently high bp can really effect the kidneys. She could end up in bad shape. She is probably scared to go to the doc but they will probably start out putting her on a water pill and have her monitor it. Tell her i said that. Lol
